Disneyland and Disney World have kept the price of their cheapest tickets steady while annually raising the cost of admission on the busiest days of the year to combat critics who say the parks have grown too expensive — but that argument is about to disappear.

Walt Disney World will raise its cheapest $109 one-day, one-park ticket to $119 in 2025, raising the cost of the lowest-priced ticket that has remained unchanged since 2018, according to the Washington Post.

Which raises the obvious question: Will Disneyland follow Disney World’s lead and hike prices on its cheapest tickets?

A similar 9% increase would raise Disneyland’s $104 rock bottom priced tickets to $114.

There are no changes to Disneyland Resort ticket prices at this time, according to Disneyland officials.

Disney World’s latest price hike was revealed when the Florida theme park resort extended its ticket calendar through October 2025. Disneyland’s calendar only stretches through August of this year at the moment.

Like its East Coast sister parks, Disneyland has kept its cheapest tickets steady at $104 since 2019 while consistently raising prices each year on higher-tiered tickets.

Disneyland’s latest round of hikes late last year raised the highest cost ticket to $194 while holding the price of the cheapest daily ticket at $104 for a single park.

Disneyland raised ticket prices in October of 2021, 2022 and 2023 after holding prices steady when the parks first emerged from the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Anaheim theme park has kept ticket prices on its cheapest days at around $100 for a decade. One-day, one-park admission to Disneyland or Disney California Adventure was $92 in 2013, $96 in 2014 and $99 in 2015.

In 2016, Disneyland broke the $100 barrier with a new three-tiered pricing system with tickets costing $95, $105 and $119 depending on anticipated crowd sizes. Since then, the number of tiers has increased and the price of the most expensive tickets has steadily climbed.

Disneyland and Disney World don’t always operate in concert with each other.

Operations vary at Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort because each market is different, guests visit and experience the parks in different ways and offerings are unique at each destination, according to Disneyland officials.
